[crosbike]

[Jeep Creep]

i got quoted 436 shipped for r+p front and rear 2 install kits and d30 case cuz he would sell me thick r+p for the rear so i can use my limited slip for now and then stick a locker for 3.73 and down later. seemed like a good price and was from DC

Update:

Today i picked up the new calipers, (stock for now) Currie Brake Hoses arrived, Armorcoated brake lines, New slightly longer wheel studs 04 tj w/ disc's and some miscelaneous crap.

New dust shields will be in on monday and the required adapter for the rear brake lines for the zj prop valve will be in tomorrow.

I will do an inventory of everything i needed next week. And begin to prep the axle.

where the hell do you shop?

yukon gears only have a 1 year limited warranty from the factory.

CCOR. I was told i have a lifetime warranty on them

OK UPDATE:

Scrapping the crown vic disc brake idea. The dealership ordered the wrong parts i needed for the backing plates and the backing plates i need are going to cost me over $170 each side pluas i still need to work out an e brake. The local bone yards are being difficult and wont sell the new backing plates i need w/o buying the whole axle.

SO far it has cost me more to buy what i needed to buy new and used and i still have to modify parts to work. I am returning everything i bought and buying the tera flex disc brake kit and saying done.


And i might be getting a second job working at a 4x4 customizing shop.

Ok well after weeks of pulling the typical JF 8 week bolt in d 44 I am finally getting some where.

I just ordered the Tera flex disc brake kit and u bolt style d 30 yoke, should be here by the end of the week.

I am also ordering the front d 30 4:56 gears and master install kit this week as well as the d 44 1350 u bolt style Yoke next week and possibly my sye nad tom woods shaft with a 1350 u joint on the axle end for added beef.

The last thing i will be needing are riddler diff covers.

[KtmRacer419]

why not 1350 at the t-case? whats the point of having a beefy chain with one weak link?

[Wide-J]

Take it from me, driveshaft brakage, and transfercase yoke breakage is just more work in the end. Do it right, do once.

[KtmRacer419]

mah 1/4 ton u-joints rawk!

[Wide-J]

U-joints? What are those? I use 4 ball bearings, duct tape, and Balsa wood

[rckrdyxj]

I did not know that you can put 1350 u joints at the t case end.

As of now the front ds will stay stock 1310 u joints but with a u bolt style yoke. (i will upgrade to 1350 when i beef up my axle next year wiht shafts locker, and drive shaft etc. (cant afford all that now)

I mainly want the rear d shaft to have the 1350's, i was gonna do teh axle end of the shaft with the 1350 but how do i get an sye with 1350? Do i just ask when i order it and when tom woods makes my shaft have them make it 1350 instead of 1310?

Any healp is appreciated, youve got do it right the first time.

[rckrdyxj]

Brakes should be in tomorrow, and my friend offered to set teh gears for free, (more experience for him though i offered $$) and then its on its way to being installed.

All i need now for the d 44 is a diff cover and new u bolt style yoke. then its prep and install time.
